You are building a new API. You want to minimize the cost of storing and reduce the latency of serving images. Which architecture should you use?
Your security team is auditing all deployed applications running in Google Kubernetes Engine. After completing the audit, your team discovers that some of the applications send traffic within the cluster in clear text. You need to ensure that all application traffic is encrypted as quickly as possible while minimizing changes to your applications and maintaining support from Google. What should you do?
You have an application running in production on Cloud Run. Your team needs to change one of the application's services to return a new field. You want to test the new revision on 10% of your clients using the least amount of effort. What should you do to keep your service backward compatible?
This architectural diagram depicts a system that streams data from thousands of devices. You want to ingest data into a pipeline, store the data, and analyze the data using SQL statements. Which Google Cloud services should you use for steps 1, 2, 3, and 4?
You are developing a discussion portal that is built on Cloud Run. Incoming external requests are routed through a set of microservices before a response is sent. Some of these microservices connect to databases. You need to run a load test to identify any bottlenecks in the application when it is under load. You want to follow Google-recommended practices. What should you do?
